Glory in the Stillness

A sculptural Nativity rendered in soft plaster relief, with layers of aged blue, warm ivory, and touches of luminous gold leaf. The quiet figures surrounding the Christ child emerge almost like fragments from an old fresco, while the distressed surface and imperfect gilding give the piece a sense of history and reverence. Glory in the Stillness reflects the sacred beauty of that first Christmas night—humble, peaceful, and filled with light.

I especially like how the blue and gold make this feel almost Byzantine or like an antique church relic rather than a traditional Christmas piece.
